University of Lleida
The University of Lleida (Catalan: Universitat de Lleida, Spanish: Universidad de Lleida) is the second oldest Spanish university, and historically, the oldest in Catalonia and the whole Crown of Aragon. It was founded between 1297 and 1301, probably with the name of Estudi General in the style of other Universities founded at that time (such as the University of Valencia), and closed down through a royal law ("Real CĂ©dula") in 1717 along with the banning of the rest of Catalan Universities and the original political institutions of Catalonia.
